Orange's free street festival is back for its third year.

Zest Fest takes over Robertson Park and the surrounding streets, Byng Street, Lords Place and McNamara Street, on Saturday 14 November 2026, from 3pm to 10pm. Orange City Council runs it with NSW Government funding.

Sneaky Sound System headline. Eleven bands play across two stages, with local food, bars and wineries on site.

Line-up

  • Main stage: Sneaky Sound System, The Buoys, Tyne-James Organ and FVNERAL
  • Live and Local stage: Blue Arbutus, The Forever Party, The Chordroys, and Javier and the Waves
  • New this year: a battle of the bands, with the three chosen groups opening the main stage. That line-up will be announced closer to the day.

The Live and Local stage has moved from Byng Street to McNamara Street, so both stages can be seen from Robertson Park.
